Hillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008

148. No. He was hired five years after the 2008 campaign by Correct the Record.

"Strider, who was Mrs. Clinton’s faith adviser, a co-founder of the American Values Network, and sent the candidate scripture readings every morning for months during the campaign, was hired five years later to lead an independent group that supported Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 candidacy, Correct the Record, which was created by a close Clinton ally, David Brock."

He was hired in 2013 by Correct the Record (the independent group) and fired (by them) a few months later.

The reason it's confusing is because the writer adds the irrelevant detail of Correct the Record's support of Clinton's campaign in 2016. Your eye sees the date and makes the assumption that Strider was still connected to the group in that year.

Maggie Haberman writes clearly enough when she wants to. When she's writing about Donald Trump and the White House, for example. I believe she was being deliberately misleading here.
